Individuals and businesses owing back taxes to the city of Philadelphia or state of Pennsylvania will be able to settle their debt at a fraction of the cost through tax amnesty programs being offered in coming weeks. These programs will only be available for 45 days. After that period, the city and state plan to aggressively pursue those that owe delinquent taxes. The Philadelphia Tax Amnesty will run from May 3 to June 25 and the Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty will run from April 26 to June 18. Both programs waive all penalties and half of the interest due on eligible delinquent taxes, which under the city’s program includes everything except for the sale and use tax and hotel occupancy tax.
